I'm a traditional wetshaver. I use a brush and shaving soap, with a safety razor and double edge blades. You can read all about it at

Most American men consider shaving to be a chore, but traditional wetshavers consider it one of the highlights of their day!
In addition, it's much less expensive than using cartridge blades and "canned goo". A 40 cent blade lasts a week, and a $12 jar of my favorite soap lasts 5 months.
